    Mercedes Benz 350 ML
    Carol B.

    Jave Rosales, Sales Manager provided us with excellent customer service. He was patient and took the time to listen and share his knowledge and experience about the 2014 Mercedes Benz ML 350. . Working with 1 person from start to end has made this experience very comfortable. Jave was able to ease our concerns by going above and beyond the call of duty to ensure we were comfortable with our purchase. The company provided us with a copy of the CAR FACTS to validate that the vehicle was not damaged or had a salvage title. This is important because Some times owners selling their vehicles on other Social Media may not provide. The greatest part is he does not pretend to know everything about the vehicle but he helped us figure it out. Something that you may not find in a big box dealership. We highly recommend purchasing your next used car from TCA Auto because the inventory is hand selected to ensure the best for potential buyers. TCA auto does offer the opportunity to finance your new/ used vehicle with options to meet your financial needs. FYI, we financed through HOCU. To benefit from the low interest rate, each person on the registration must open an account with a membership for a nominal fee. We were a bit surprised but that's what happens when you are looking at the deal. Salamat Jave and his team at TCA Auto

    It was a pleasant adventure working with Brandon. He wasv honest with some stuff or he was probably unaware but idk. But his professionalism and attitude was awesome and going with the flow. When I was about to sign my final document on a 2013 Nissan Altima to drive it off the lot that day on 6/16/23, Ive ask Brandon if it was okay for me to take it to my mechanic just to take a look at before finalizing everything and he said yes. Now keep in mind, I've also asked Brandon at the beginning if this car was reliable and in good shape to buy, he adv me that " Everything is good and not to worry." at that very moment, ny gut instinct said it was my first . :( I asked him if it was okay for me to take the car first to a mechanic before finalizing everything and he said yes and he actually held on to the car for 3 days and that was awesome. I got to the mechanic and he walked up pop the hood and around the base of the car engine everything was rusted, the valve was cracked and needed replaced. The engine had minor oil spills and the mechanic adv me that the Valve was leaking as well around the engine, we walked behind the car and the exhaust pipe was rusted as well along with the rotors that needed be replaced badly because it was rusted as well. From there I told our mechanic that's enough and I made final decisions to see if I'm able to get another vehicle or at least assist me in looking for another car. I've adv Brandon about the car damages and he said he was going to adv his mechanic. I then adv him if he had another car or something else I can look at but he never replied back to my txt nor a follow up....I'm a bit disappointed but at the same time I'm relieved that I was able to get the car check before buying. I'm pretty sure that there should be some great cars available but we were just unlucky that day with that particular car. I hope one day they run these car through mechanics maintenance before selling these cars like that. I've also attached some photos so you can have an idea before buying for any dealer. Have an awesome day. mahalo

    My boyfriend and I went car shopping for the first time ever. We were honestly so scared we didn't know what to expect. You always see on tv how the sellers are aggressive and pressure is at an all time high. So the experience we had at TCA had to be the most easiest process we ever been through! I saw a post of the Infiniti Q50A on a Craigslist ad and immediately fell in love. Booked an appointment with Brandon, who responded immediately after via text. On the day of our appointment, my boyfriend and I walked into TCA (it's also a Vape store!) and met Brandon for our appointment. Right off the bat, he was very easy-going and friendly. He handed us the key to check out the car. No pressure, no signing of papers, he just needed a copy of our Drivers license. We checked out the car and fell in love! The car was nice and clean. We were told it was just detailed. After taking it out for a nice test drive, we got back to Brandon to further discuss. Still no pressure. We had 2 more car appointments with other dealers for that day to make sure that this was the right car for us. Brandon was super chill about it and he gave us the estimates for everything just so we had something to compare. He was very helpful with the numbers and gave us wiggle room w/ the price and we were able to get it within our budget range. Which is what every car buyers first priority! Thankfully Brandon yet again put our minds at ease and came in clutch. While at the other 2 appointments I couldn't stop thinking about the Infiniti at TCA. It was about 8:30pm after our last car appointment and I immediately texted Brandon. He responded within minutes happy to have us back to fill out the paperwork and take the car home! Signing papers was a breeze! Along with signing he gave us a brief description of what each page was about so it was easier to comprehend lol. We came in for a car, but came out with a car, a new friend, AND a lifetime discount at TCA Vape! Lol! How great is that?! All together, we had an AMAZING experience at TCA auto. Thanks Brandon for the great first impression. You seriously changed our perception on car buying. You the best!

    I highly recommend buying from TCA Auto and asking for Ed ! He helped us buy a a car with the best available loan and he's super easy going and made us feel like we knew him forever. Ed's super patient and he takes his time with his clients !! If you're interested in buying a car without the pressure head down to TCA AUTO ASAP BEST EXPERIENCE EVER ! Don't forget to ask for Ed ! You won't regret it !! I'm a first buyer and I'm only 23 he helped me get this beauty for such a great deal.

    Let's say the people at TCA auto was nothing but helpful n great people that I ever dealt with. Was upfront with every and anything. They were able to work with my situation and to give me the best deal. I would 100% recommended to anyone that needs a good car. Best decision I made

    I saw an ad online for a 2010 Mercedes & I sent an inquiry about it. Within 10 mins I got an email with a text from Brandon! He was very informative & helpful. I needed to buy a car for my dad & I was paying in cash. I wasn't able to see the car on the same day, so Brandon texted me the next morning letting me know the car is on the lot & let him know when i'll come by. We got there to TCA Auto & immediately Brandon helped. Took the car on a test drive through Waipahu. Came back & there was no pressure at all from Brandon - he offered to let us discuss it & think about it. But, I had to buy the car. The process took about 15 mins & next thing you know...we drove off with the Mercedes. Awesome experience & super quick !! We will definitely be back for vape stuff too!! BUT, we didn't even the car for a full day & the car battery is dead & the marker lights went out

    Recently just purchased a second hand vehicle from over here and let me just be frank about the amazing service the sales representative, Brandon, gave to us. We applied 2 days ago online for a used car and at first was a bit sad as we submitted the application after they had already closed and we wanted the chance to submit it as soon as possible with the hopes of speeding the entire ordeal a long a lot faster so submitting it after business hours was kind of like "damn ok now we're gonna have to wait to hear back till tomorrow when they open" - however this was not the case with Brandon. We submitted the application maybe 30-45 minutes after their closing time (we thought they closed at 9PM and then realized after googling 'TCA auto in waipahu' that they actually close at 6PM) and within a few minutes we received a text message from him stating that he got our application as was more than happy to process it for immediately without any hesitation which already made us feel very hopeful. The next day comes and he tells us to come around 10AM and he can go ahead and help us with the rest of the paper work and even allowed us to test drive the car for about 30 minutes. What was really cool was his dedication to helping not just me and my boyfriend, but also another costumer at the same time as well! You could clearly tell customer satisfaction is a top priority for him and delegating his time between us and another customer SEAMLESSLY was very much impressive to say so the least. He was welcoming, professional, funny, and most importantly to me, local. If I'm gonna commit to buying a car, having the candor and rapport with another local/Hawaiian really eases the anxiety and stress for me because I don't feel like I'm talking to a sales person, it feels like I'm talking to one of the boys I grew up with on the westside. He was very thorough with the paper work and also very fast with it as well ( you can tell he's been doing this for a while) everything paced along tremendously well and before I knew it we were driving back to Waianae in a beautiful blue Hyundai Elantra. If you're looking for a car to get you around the island and you want someone who's not going to beat around the bush with you, Brandon's the guy and TCA auto in waipahu is where you can find him. Did I mention the entire process from walking in the door to walking out with the keys in hand only took 2 hours? Girllll, talk about get in, get out, and get ahead! 5 stars 10/10 would recommend endlessly

    My boyfriend and I are first time buyers with new credit and Chase pushed for the best possible price and monthly for us. He was very informative, honest, and patient, couldn't have asked for a better salesperson. Big plus We were able to test drive the car by ourselves without anyone else with us. If you're in need of another car check out TCA Auto. I promise you will not regret it!

    TCA Auto is an outstanding dealership! I came in here trying to get a bigger car/family car and traded in my old Acura RSX. Chase was very helpful and knowledgeable! He helped us throughout the whole process and not like other dealerships TCA Auto doesn't pressure you on buying their car! I also want to add that I have a low credit but Chase did everything he could to give us the best deal possible. I would highly recommend this place if you are looking for a very professional staff and great auto buying experience!

    I waited a long time to post this review thinking maybe the situation would work itself out. Maybe…read moremy car could be repaired and maybe this man would do the right thing. Short answer: No. No he did not. I bought a 2011 Golf GTI from this dealership (hence forth referred to as SCAMMER) and for 7 days it was fine. On the 8th day the transmission started acting up. I thought, maybe it just needs some service as it was an older vehicle and the fluids in the DSG had probably never been changed. I was correct, the fluid was quite filthy and hadn't been changed. This did not fix my issue though. The transmission would not shift above 3rd. If you came to a stop it wouldn't shift above 1st or second. Sometimes it would come out of gear altogether. This indicated a failing transmission or a failing mechatronic unit. So, I reach out to the scammer and told him what was going on. Instead of offering to take a look at it, like he said he would be happy to if anything came up when I purchased it, he blamed me saying I probably drove it too hard and broke something or that I just don't understand the DSG transmission in these cars. Since this is the 5th car I have owned with a DSG and I knew how to diagnose this issue, I immediately assured this asshat that I was not the reason for the failure and that he had clearly sold me a car with a transmission that he knew was on the way out. So, he offers to bring it into his shop, phase 2 of his scam, and says they will repair it for free. He not only runs a stealership containing cars that should be in a junkyard, but also owns a repair shop. This shop apparently has one mechanic, who only works on Fridays or Thursdays or whenever he feels like. No one really knows. He claims he pulled my transmission out and replaced the whole thing. This was a lie. He also claims they changed the clutch packs. Lie number two. The only thing I can confirm they did was remove the transmission, put it back in, over torque ever bolt they touched, and attempted to have the transmission reprogrammed. This obviously didn't work. And all of that took them 3 months to do. Every time I asked for an update I would get some answer like, oh it's all buttoned up, we're just installing a new clock spring. (Another issue the car was sold with.) Or "It'll be done next Friday." (I heard that one 3 weeks in a row. So I finally just go and get the car back, seeing that no work is actually being done, and they are NOT going to fix it. I paid $8k for a car I have driven a grand total of 8 times and can no longer drive because the transmission is shot. Oh, the scammer's website also offers a $500 military discount that he doesn't actually include in the final price. Furthermore, no military member should be doing any work with this guy. Whether it's buying a car or repairing one. Commanders and SELs should tell new arrivals not to do business with this con artist. All the positive reviews you see on this page or elsewhere are either friends or family. I didn't see one single car on this asshat's lot that looked road worthy. Yet they all seem to be able to pass safety inspections. He's an idiot at best and a thief at worst.

    Sales person exceptionally personable was very helpful and patient. I highly recommend this place…read moreon Dillingham across from women's IHS or one block and the same side of Jollybees & Jiffy Lube
